Amethyst is a continuous-cycle oral contraceptive combining ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel, taken daily without interruption to prevent pregnancy and reduce or eliminate periods. You can get an online prescription via Klarity’s secure telehealth platform.
Amethyst is a monophasic combined oral contraceptive pill designed for continuous daily use. Unlike traditional birth control pills that include a week of placebo, Amethyst contains two active hormones—ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel—delivered every day without a break. This consistent hormone delivery can significantly reduce or even eliminate monthly menstrual bleeding, providing a convenient option for those seeking long-term hormonal contraception.
It is FDA-approved to prevent pregnancy and is often recommended for women who prefer not to have periods or experience severe menstrual symptoms. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Amethyst works by delivering a steady dose of estrogen and progestin daily, which suppresses ovulation—preventing the release of eggs. Its continuous delivery results in hormonal balance that often stops periods altogether. This method differs from traditional pills that have a hormone-free week, which triggers monthly menstruation.
By maintaining consistent hormone levels, Amethyst also helps reduce menstrual-related symptoms like heavy bleeding, cramps, and irregular cycles.
Compared to progestin-only pills (mini-pills), Amethyst contains estrogen and is generally appropriate for women who are suitable candidates for combined hormonal contraceptives.
